Former SM Entertainment executive producer Lee Soo-man was recently seen enjoying himself at the '2025 World DJ Festival'.
Lee, who previously oversaw operations at SM Entertainment, was spotted at the 2025 World DJ Festival, which drew a crowd of 100,000 on the 14th and 15th. He was there enjoying the music alongside S.E.S members Bada and Eugene.
On the 17th, Bada shared on her social media, "Even though I couldn't even sip cola because of recording, it was still a blast getting together after so long. Thank you, teacher," showing off their fun time together.
Lee, along with Bada and Eugene, was seen fully enjoying the festival vibes. S.E.S, launched by Lee in 1997 under SM Entertainment, was a first-generation girl group that enjoyed immense popularity not only in Korea but also in Japan.
Lee, who served as the executive producer of SM Entertainment until February 2023, sold his shares in SM to HYBE amidst a potential loss of control over the company, stepping down from his position as the largest shareholder. He has since established Blooming Entertainment in the United States and is preparing to launch a multinational group.
Furthermore, Lee's filing of the trademark 'A2O Entertainment' in May last year has sparked speculation about his return to K-pop production, drawing widespread attention.
